WEATHER SUMMARY

The atmosphere over the region remains sufficiently moisture and unstable to continue to cause a few cloudy periods with scattered showers and possible isolated thunderstorms during the next 24 hours.

An area of Saharan dust haze together with volcanic ash from the erupting La Soufriere volcano in St. Vincent, will continue to reduce visibility and air quality around our region for the next few days.
